Why dy-NAM-ics (dynamics)? These are the ideas and trends that the contributors have identified as the driving forces that will shape the year ahead.
I’m also pleased that, in addition to mine, the 23 perspectives come from a range of ages, genders, and ethnicities and company types (smaller, indie consultancies to well-established conglomerates). I’m also pleased that we also have a few non-U.S. participants–two based in London, one in South Africa—and that’s not even counting the two Brits and the Canadian based here in NYC who participated. So, if you will permit me, I’m going to go ahead and call this a “global” project.
